Or............ You can just shout really load and deal with it afterwards. Only kiddin, it is a nightmare though, there's always someone who has a rule that out rules your rule.

Sometimes the Radial can be a faster boat if its hi wind lightweight sailor. At our club it's all together, if you say they get in the way, it's the same for everyone. Good overtaking practice maybe.

Mine is a wreck, but then only the fish see it. It's incentive to keep the boat flat.

I did infact try the clew sleeve. My friend who claimed to have it sussed had anything but. He had glued some fine velcro on the inside of the clew sleeve to make it run smooth. This it did not. I think it was a case of I have paid for this and I will make it work or at least make everyone else...

Some great advice thanks. I am trying one on Saturday, a friends. He says he has it nailed but by the sound of your feedback there must be a downside. Will let you know how it goes.

I just use a normal clew hook. It may be an XD one but its the standard look. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?VISuperSize&item=120477133569 No block attached.

Thanks everyone for that. The main reason for me was de rigging, I sometimes get in a right mess in a howling on shore trying to free the clew strap and the hook. Main reason being I knot the out haul on the XD so that I can just free it down wind to a desired max. Lazy maybe?
